Re: buying advice 1990 corolla

the asking price is 1,500 dollars. i might negotiate for it but im not going to start barganing prices before i decide wether its worth my trouble to buy it or not. im looking at the 2500 and under market localy ive ben beatin to a few deals and im geting prety despirate. currently the car does run he drives it to work every day(i am his boss) and ive ridden in it and i have felt no serious clutch sliping. i was just wonerding what potentialy im looking at having to work on in the neer future so i can calculate my risk if i were to buy it.

Re: buying advice 1990 corolla

I wouldn't pay that much. I am not sure what your situation is but I would watch craigslist. I got my 97 prism with 104,000 on it for $1200. It was a great deal but cars are more reasonable on that site. I almost bought a 97 Nissan with 72k for $700 from a kid graduating college. I did not get there in time. I think you can find a much better deal. Also, remember that Prisms are basically corollas but can be purchased for a lower price.
